Jews

A Jew\'s passion is for God. The first and most basic statement of the Jewish faith proclaims our love and faith in One God, and our commitment and covenant to serve Him with all our heart, soul and strength.

Our prayers are full of praise for the Creator, echoing the joy and passion of the relationship that was conceived with Abraham,and given birth at Sinai.

We relate to God as a loving and perfect father, and as a benevolent and wise king whom we serve.
